Well it was an awesome start to the summer last weekend.  One of the best Memorial Day Weekends that I can remember.  The lake water wasn’t even to terribly cold, it was brisk but warmer than previous years.  It was really nice to get out on the new pontoon and just chill in the middle of the lake listening to music and having a few beers.  It was definitely a good start to the summer.  

I was a little dissappointed in the Indy 500 turnout, mainly because I bought a car in the auction at the club and he didn’t end up winning me any money, but other than that I was happy for Helio, he seems like a good guy and has been through quite a bit recently.  Its also always awesome to hear Jim Nabors sing “Back Home Again In Indiana”.  We also got some great dominos action in over with the Smith’s, I didn’t fare to well but it was still a good time.  

Last night was a fun night here in Indy, Ryan Dill’s post-birthday celebration.  I cooked up a pretty good mean of beer can chicken, and McAlister potatos.  Nate, Ryan, and I feasted on that and watched the hockey.  Hockey turned out bad for the Hawks, hard to describe how I feel, the goalie (Huet) played awesome the whole game.  The offense just never seemed to be able to get their act in gear.  Good season for the Hawks, hopefully next year they can make it to the Stanley Cup Finals.  Jeff joined us later in the night for a game of Trivial Pursuit 90’s Edition, it was a bit rediculous, really made us feel like we didn’t grow up in the 90’s.  We kind of got to thinking though that maybe we would be better at the 2000’s edition because we were old enough to pay attention to what happened for the whole decade.  Does anybody even know if there is a 2000’s edition of that game out yet?

Thats about all for now, heading home tonight or tomorrow, lots to do this weekend back at home.  Hope everybody has a good weekend.
